It’s been a while since I baked my last cookies, and here we go again with the next load! I guess man is a creature of habit. For more than two weeks now I’ve had my little cookies as a desert after my healthy lunch at work.
I have to admit that I really enjoy a little sweet element after a savoury dish. So this time I was thinking about the straight opposite of last time’s crunchy chocolate chip cookies. Dried fruits, some walnuts and a load oats seemed to be the perfect solution.
When I tried the first cookie I knew that this recipe would be a regular in my cookie jar.

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Ingredients
- 100 g butter
- 150 g brown sugar
- 75 g flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 120 g rolled oats
- 100 g raisins
- 50 g chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C
- In a large bowl, put together the butter, brown sugar, egg and the vanilla extract until you get a smooth mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Then fold the dry ingredients into the sugar-butter mixture. Stir in the raisins, walnuts and oats.
- It depends on how you prefer your cookies but if you like them thick and chewy, chill the dough in the fridge for a bit before forming the cookies on your sheet.
- The baking time needed for your cookies depends on your oven and on how long you chilled the dough. In general you should bake them for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Take them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top.
- Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before you transferring them to a plate.
- Enjoy!!!
